Its going to be an interesting season for the vikes. Could be back on the map like experts have stated after these two picks. Gonna be a really tough division. We must have a winning record within the division.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper. I will strike down upon thee with GREAT VENGEANCE and FURIOUS ANGER those who attempt to poison and destroy MY BROTHERS. You will know my name is the BROWNS when I lay my VENGEANCE UPON YOU!

Browns… Drafting a shutdown corner to put in the same secondary as Joe Haden and Donte Whitner, possibly drafting their franchise QB, all while gaining another 1st Round Pick from the Bills for next year’s draft.

A++ for farmer and the Browns . To get the bills 1st and 4th next year just to move back 5 spots and get the guy you wanted all along. HUge win. Then to moveup and grab what could be a franchise QB for basically Trent Richardson. (bust). Amazing draft so far by the browns.

Browns didn’t want to spend LT money on a RT so we trade down. Then, Browns swindle the Vikings by trading up with them to take the player they were eyeing out, Justin Gilbert. Manziel falls beyond the Cowboys and even further. Report says the Browns and Eagles had that trade decided in advance if that happened. A+ to the Browns. Outsmarted and did not overpay. Very unlike the last regime (trading up for Trent Richardson, picking Brandon Weeden #22 overall).

I am a big Viking fan and I really like what they did in the first round. Serious envy to the browns the way they played this one this year. and having two first rounders next year as well…. cheers. Here’s to a greatly improved season.
